Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All VM creation examples use Windows images (win2022datacenter, Win2019Datacenter) with no mention of Linux alternatives. The IIS installation uses PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tooling (Add-WindowsFeature, Internet Explorer), with no Linux web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx) or shell examples. Testing instructions reference Internet Explorer, a Windows-only browser. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux VMs (e.g., use UbuntuLTS image in az vm create).
  • Show how to install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs using az vm extension set with bash commands.
  • Include test instructions for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using curl or a browser available on all platforms).
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (e.g., Internet Explorer); use cross-platform alternatives.
  • Explicitly mention that the steps work for both Windows and Linux, or call out differences where applicable.
